There are a lot of trends going on right now. One of them is Stripes. To go with my previous post, I bought this stripe blouse for only $1.50 at the thrift store. You can pair this blouse with a lot of things. So before you spend tons of money on a stripe blouse at a brand name store, check out your local thrift store :) These pictures were taken for my instagram account.

I want to encourage everybody to go thrifting. You never know what you will find and the best thing is that everything is very cheap! I go thrifting once a week and sometimes even twice a week! Last Monday, since it was President's day there was a 50% off sale. I bought blouses for only 45 cents! It can be overwhelming in there, so what I usually do is make sure to calm down and take my time. I always go to the blouses section first and then move my way around. The one section I do avoid is pants. Also, you need to be open minded and take risks on certain items. I really hope that after seeing what I found, you will consider thrifting. Sure I still like to shop at Zara, Topshop, H&M and other stores but most of the time you will find similar items at the thrift store for a way cheaper price. Remember you will have to search through a lot of things, but be patient because you will find certain items that are so worth it. Make sure to bring hand sanitizer and always wash the clothes before wearing it. I have worn some of my thrifting finds in my previous posts and will continue to wear them in future posts. Please let me know if you want anymore tips or have any questions about thrifting. :) I recently join formspring, so feel free to add me. Username = seekvintage

Just wanted to quickly blog my outfit for today. I do work full-time and today is a business casual day. I decided to add some color to my outfit instead of the daily black and white. I still have two more finals left and then this weekend I am going to devote all of my time to this blog. =) Oh and clean my apartment. LOL. Have a great day!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I did not want to get up to go to work today. In order to brighten my mood, I decided to wear my floral sweater with some bright pants. =) I cannot wait for Spring/Summer. Do any of you have any plans yet? I am going to Las Vegas in August. This will be my first time visiting Las Vegas, so I am beyond excited!

I'm getting ready for work, so I thought I take a few quick pictures of my outfit. These photos are going to be on my instagram. Anyways, Happy Thursday! We only have one more day to go :) I get to have a three day weekend cause I get President's Day off from work. So that means I am going to be doing one thing and that is GO SHOPPING! There will be tons of sales going on. I will do a review of all my purchases and I can't wait to read about yours too :) Also, I decided to post more pictures of Pearl. I'm so glad that there are other cat lovers out there. I have gotten questions about her size and she's really not that big of a cat. These pictures will show her better in size and cuteness :)

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day and introduce you to the love of my life. Her name is Pearl and I bought this dress because it reminded me of her. It has cats all over and everybody always jokes around and calls me a "crazy cat lady." LOL. Also, RIP Whitney Houston. You will be miss! :(

Thank you to all of the kind words I have received from everybody. Also, YOU CAN STILL ENTER THE GIVEAWAY. Please check the first post. Anyways, as promise this is my first outfit that I'm wearing with an item that I bought from the thrift store. This is really what I am wearing to work today. I found this leopard blouse for only $2.99. It is a size large, but I like to tuck in my blouse and I can just roll up the sleeves. I apologize for the bad camera quality. I am looking to purchase a new camera this weekend. I might invest in a really nice one, since I want nice pictures for my blog. If anybody has any recommendations on camera, please let me know. Thanks!
